North Korea suspected in cyber attack on U.S., South Korea

North Korea is being implicated in a cyber attack over the July 4 weekend, according to South Korean intelligence officials.

The attack brought down several major American and South Korean Web sites at least temporarily. But other South Korean officials expressed doubt that the North Koreans could carry out such an attack.

Keith Epstein, an investigative reporter for BusinessWeek whose specialty is cyber security, joins Martin Savidge to discuss who is behind the cyber attacks, the consequences of the attacks and how the U.S. can improve cyber security.

Propaganda for Obama's S.773 Cybersecurity Act of 2009

What evidence is there that it was n Korea, I mean I could believe it, and if it's really that bad it had to be some big terrorist, Korean or not, would they just find out who is doing this!

This will only cause the gov to take more control over the Internet!

Ps. What do you mean this is abate crime toward Korea? Is not about hate u dumb... No one is forcing no one to hate anyone, r u people that vunerable?

They are setting up nk.

first they said it would be a nuclear missile, now they changed it into a

cybersecurity issue so they can go ahead and invade our privacy some more, while suppressing the flow of knowledge that spreads amongst the people. TOTAL FALSE FLAG!!!!!

America shouldn't have been involved in Korea all the way, if the North Koreans would win the war so be it the strongest deserve to win or otherwise the US should only supply weapons but not set in troops themselves and till now the US Armed Forces are still in S-K while S-K isn't an important allie for the US (juste like Israël).

of course,total control over people.

I'm afraid US will exploit this in much more,

brutal way.The "war" must thrive in continuum,

'cause that's the beating heart of evil government,or the mad puppeteer behind the scenes.Sadly, their plan is still in motion,people just don't care about the world or themselves.We get easily deceived.Time to be human again!

the Media Reports that IP Addresses were LINKED to NORTH KOREA! Of course what the media also mentions in small case letters is that it took 20K-50K computers to do the attacks, so maybe a few infected computers did come from N Korea, and the rest came from around the world. But hey, the Media wants war, its just "Good Business" when people tune in nightly to see some ass kicking or some death tolls. You have to remember big networks are working like TMZ smut News these days.
